jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is slightly more opulent than other vintages of Mayacamas with tile, slate, dark fruits and flowers such as roses. Full body, firm and luscious tannins. Lots of sage and lavender undertones. Best ever from here?...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: This vintage really embodies the message and style that this great Campania Merlot aims to achieve. It stays true to the fruit and the wild/untamed personality of the territory that shaped it. The 2013 Pàtrimo is one of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Starting off a retrospective of the Infiniment cuvee and sporting a vibrant, inky purple color, the 2012 IGP Côtes Catalanes Infiniment de l’Ou is made from 100% Syrah, from yields of 15 hectoliters per hectare, that was...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: A classic, Russian River Pinot, the 2014 Widdoes Vineyard is plump, juicy and extroverted to the core. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint and spice notes fill out the wine's generous frame. With time in the glass, some of the...
